Banana has been announced as the flavor of the year by the New York Times and Sonic is going all in with a new Banana Collection, the company said in a news release. Led by the fan-favorite Banana Pudding Shake, the full lineup is now available on the Sonic app and at locations nationwide.

The new flavors include:

1. Banana Pudding Shake: The fan-favorite frozen treat returns to the menu, featuring banana pudding-flavored soft serve blended with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles and topped with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles, whipped topping and a cherry.
2. Banana Pudding Blast: Banana pudding-flavored soft serve blended with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles and topped with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles.
3. Banana Dirty Dr Pepper: A combination of Dr Pepper with the sweet flavor of real banana and cream.
4. Banana Pudding Cream Slush: Creamy vanilla soft serve blended with an icy banana pudding slush.

"Banana has quickly become one of the most talked-about flavors, and Sonic is putting its own spin on the trend in a way only we can, with a new collection of both sips and sweets to indulge in," Ryan Dickerson, chief marketing officer at Sonic, said in the press release. "From the return of our beloved Banana Pudding Shake to new trends that only Sonic can deliver like Banana Dirty Dr Pepper, this lineup brings together nostalgic favorites and new innovation that tap into guests' growing appetite for fruit-forward flavors."
